I just finished an enjoyable first read of Alex Gildzen's latest, Lives and Deaths of the Poets/Another Book of Rain Poems, available from The Poet's Haven for a nominal sum.  Published as a flip book, it is two--two chapbooks in one!

Here's a poem from the Another Book of Rain Poems section which I found particularly affecting--

FROM A GREEK JOURNAL
(1987)

                                         missed bus                  war of silence
                                                      (travel as accumulated stress)

                                         tears
                                                       on the way
                                                                              to Kalithea
                                                                                                       in the rain

Happy Birthday, Alex!
